SPAN 353 - Latinos in the US: Images of Self and Family

4 credits
This course will focus on visual and textual representations of Latinos, representing the individual and the family, both by the hegemonic media and by members of these communities. We will follow a multidisciplinary approach as we trace the development of Latinos in Hollywood cinema, television, re-construct representations in newspapers and the general media and place them in historical context. We will engage these texts in a dialogue with contestatory and revisionist representations in film, literature, and other popular forms from within the community. Taught in English.
